Q4. Would you agree that Milton reflects on blindness in Sonnets 19 & 23? Give a reasoned answer.

Answer. In his poem "On His Blindness," sometimes referred to as "When I consider how my light is spent" (the first line of the poem), John Milton reflects on his gradual loss of his sight and what it means for his work and his faith.

The poem begins with these lines:

WHEN I consider how my light is spent
E're half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide,
Lodg'd with me useless, though my Soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, least he returning chide (lines 1–6)
